Judith Ann Christeson

Born April 2, 1951, Judith was the second of six children born to Tom and Ann Rosenberger.

Judith was a prolific, avid, gifted and talented student as a child in all of her subjects. Her talent with words and expression was self-evident and well beyond others of her age. As a result, she received national recognition and awards for essays she wrote on subjects like "Freedom", "Patriotism", and "Respect for others". She was rewarded with trips to Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the nation's capital, Washington, D.C., and Rome, Italy.

She later attended the Cornish College of the Arts at Seattle University and had a brief career in high fashion working as a model. Her trail then led to Las Vegas, Nevada where she became a "Black-jack" dealer working for both the Dunes and the Golden Nugget casinos. Most of the rest of her life was spent taking care of others who could not take care of themselves. She worked tirelessly as their caregiver and inspirational figure, often to the detriment of her own life and health.

Her talents and appreciation for the finer things in life led to her evolved lifestyle with her passions for art, nature, gardening, music, and culinary pursuits brilliantly displayed for all to see, share, and appreciate.. An invitation to dine at her table was memorable for both the food she served and the company she extended to her guests.

She was devoted to God and her Savior Jesus Christ and studied her Bible on a daily basis, both knowing its teachings and living by its word.

Her magnetic personality drew people of all kinds to her and she regarded strangers as friends she had yet to meet. She was generous, kind and loving, thoughtful, conversational, and eternally loyal to those she loved. Our world will find it difficult to replace Judith on its roster and her loved ones will miss her dearly. Judith was truly "One of a Kind".
